These are high resolution DXT5 models, they come complete with Body and Skin separate bump maps, Alpha channels full range transparencies (solid to invisible and everything in between), and variable gloss maps.
The tpf will work for others that download the DXT5 models, no more guessing or maybes. I've had another site test with 100% results.

If this is something you want to try let me know and I'll give you more help.

How is it possible to make Lara wear the sunglasses throughout the game? I really want that

There are 2 methods
1. Download the hacked EXE (TRAOD.EXE) and put in the TRAOD folder. The EXE is a V49 EXE and others have reported crashes with games of other versions. Also if you have V49 and the game crashes then you will have to UnCLZ your map files. No big deal just use Michiels UnCLZ.exe by placing it in the map folder and dropping the CLZ onto the UnCLZ.exe.

Method 2 much easier
2. I have several saved games using the glasses. These are barebones nothing but level skip to get them. Just unzip into the save game folder after backing up any you really want. Bottom of the page:

Perhaps this is a stupid question, but where do we post mods for AOD? I see one thread which looks like a major game addon project, but no place to post custom skins - but hey, maybe I just made one.

It is possible to use the TexMod utility on
Tomb Raider the Angel of Darkness
However, it's use is neither necessary nor recommended

Visit Tomb Raider Hub for download and tutorial.SparedLife has done some testing and his initial findings are posted here.
There is also a thread for TexMod discussion.
You must have official patch 49 installed
you must copy the .exe files that are in the [...\TRAOD\bin] folder
then put the copies into the game main folder [C:\Program Files\...\TRAOD]
in TexMod select which ever of the 3 runs on your machine:
TROAD.exe, TROAD_P3.exe, or TRAOD_P4.exe.

But serious AOD modders should instead learn how to use the other tools and accessories that are avaliable:
